Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the match Will, It was fun playing with you Goodluck for the rest of the matches" -- Sanket
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyed it on a lovely sunny day , thanks Will. Good match!" -- Deji
Player Comments:
- "Fun battle with some lovely rallies, enjoyed it Sanket and looking forward to playing next time around too!" -- Deji
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the match Naren " -- Sanket
Player Comments:
- "Good battle. First set Belal was controlling things early, we had a mammoth sixth game, and I managed to come back into the set despite losing that game. Tiebreak could have gone either way with set points for both of us. Second set the sun became involved at times, as did the wind, but after winning an even more mammoth seventh game in the set, I managed to serve it out. Enjoyed it, thanks Belal" -- Deji
Player Comments:
- "Earliest and possibly the only ever 8 am start, due to time constraints on my behalf in terms of the date. Pitches that turned wet from the ice overnight. Which doesn’t suit my game. After 0-3 in the second set Tom turned it around and played well at the net and had some good forehand winners and tough drop shots to get too in these conditions made life very difficult for me. " -- Belal
Player Comments:
- "Great to play against Naren for the first time, an excellent match, which was closer than the score suggests. We did well to dodge the rain too. Thanks for coming to North Watford Naren and apologies again for the footballers on the adjacent court. Good luck in the rest of your games. Tom." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Always fun playing with Shaun, very close match. Well played Shaun." -- Sanket
Player Comments:
- "Nice playing and talking tennis with Shaun. Close match, big respect he’s still going strong in tennis more than twice my age! All the best. " -- Belal
Player Comments:
- "Lovely to play against Shaun for the first time, a really enjoyable match, great to get out early on a Sunday and make light of our combined age in excess of 120!!!!!! Good luck in the rest of your games Shaun." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Nice meeting Naren on court, all the best. " -- Belal
Player Comments:
- "One the closest intense rivalries for me across the leagues. I thinks it’s same for him . However, unfortunately more than half our matches so far had rain elements. Both sets were similar but the other way round. Sanket punishes well at the net and has difficult angle shots, but I was like a magnet returning almost all . My forehand and powerful serves with dampy balls didn’t trouble him a lot as even hitting a fast corner shot he gets back most of the times. So it was rather tactically. We ran out time tbc ..!" -- Belal
- "Great to complete on a dry day. Till next time. " -- Belal
Player Comments:
- "Very comfortable win for Deji with just a couple close games in the 2nd set. Had a lot of fun playing in pretty good weather conditions. Thanks for the game Deji and good luck with your remaining matches!" -- Naren
Player Comments:
- "Glad to come out and play tennis after a long break, always fun playing with Tom. We both struggled today with our service games but overall good match. Thanks for playing Tom." -- Sanket
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the game Tom, and good luck with the rest of your matches too" -- Deji
Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "Great game and great weather!" -- James
Player Comments:
- " It was a pleasure playing against Jack, and both sets were decided by just one break. Jack started off slow and fell behind 3-0, which ultimately led to his defeat. Overall, it was a highly competitive game, and every game after 3-0 could have swung either way. Good luck to Jack for the remainder of his matches. Perhaps just one more to go. " -- Sushil

Player Comments:
